V-38522: The audit system must be configured to audit all attempts to alter system time through settimeofday.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Arbitrary changes to the system time can be used to obfuscate nefarious
|
|
activities in log files, as well as to confuse network services that are
|
|
highly dependent upon an accurate system time (such as sshd). All changes to
|
|
the system time should be audited.
